Corn, tomatoes, pinkeye and purple hull, and crowders. I will be planting snow peas, potatoes, watermelon (Black Diamond and Dixie Queen), Cantelope, Carrots, onion seed and bulbs too. Crooked neck squash, and LIma beans along with an assortment of other things too.
Love to garden. My fingers always start itching for the dirt about this time of the year. I'm happy that there are others here that garden too. I'm thankful for some good equipment too.

My father in law is a produce farmer and once grew over 500 acres -now about 70, a year of sweet corn, several types of tomatoes, potatoes, onions, squash, and pumpkins. I generally do not like corn, but very VERY few people have ever tasted fresh sweet corn just 24-48 hours picked. You don't even need butter on it when you roast it!
